Default Preflop

An okay (30/15/1.5) button open raises and a loose aggro (40/20/3) SB 3-bets. You are in the BB. What are you doing here with
A.) QJs
B.) ATo
C.) A8s
D.) 22-66
E.) KJo
F.) KTs

If this is the first time it happens, i fold all.

If it looks like its becoming a pattern i start capping the At0 KTs and QJs.

3-handed and capping, I'd rather KJo than KTs or QJs. in a big pot domination isn't as important as suitedness. in a small pot, if you're dominated, you're prety screwed. QJs and KTs are probably dominated

Rank beginner here, please put me in line if this is brutally wrong.

1) Cap - Button's raising hands are pretty wide here, and he fact that I'm suited somewhat alleviates being dominated, and I'm pretty sure I have over 40% equity with the LAG in the SB.

2) Fold
3) Fold
4) Call - This is probably wrong, but I think I have decent implied odds with a LAG in the hand.
5) Fold - Dominated facing 2 cold, and out of position somewhat.
6) Cap - Same reasoning as 1).

This seems very backwards. You're advocating capping with weak broadways and folding strong aces. I'd pretty much reverse that and be more inclined to cap with ATo and fold QJs.

Of course, I'd likely fold ATo as well, and if there was a limper or two I'd call hands like QJs, but with no reads, no limpers, a button raise, and a SB 3bet, I'd cap ATo way before QJs.
